Will Prince George be the star of King Charles' coronation?

The first British coronation in 70 years is about 70 days away, and the Daily Mail reports that details are becoming clearer as Prince George, the eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales and second in line to the throne, is the focus of attention at the coronation ceremony.

Dr. Tessa Dunlop told "Palace Confidential" that the direct line of succession of Prince Charles' two heirs, his son Prince William and grandson Prince George, will be very much in focus on May 6, when the coronation at Westminster Abbey will take place It is said to be a very exciting event. Many current members of the royal family will be present at the procession, but the emphasis will be on William and George.

"The royal family wants to focus on the line of succession," Dunlop says. 'So you will see a lot of camera shots of Charles, William, and George.'

At his last coronation in June 1953, then only four years old, Prince Charles stole the spotlight at the coronation of his mother, Queen Elizabeth. Prince Charles, then only four years old, took the spotlight at Queen Elizabeth's coronation, sitting between the queen and his aunt, Princess Margaret.

Although this coronation is "all about King Charles," Richard Eden of the Daily Mail wrote, "We will see other current members of the royal family play prominent roles. We will see them in the procession to Westminster Abbey. They will not take part in the ceremony, but there will be events around the country that will be attended by current royals. Of course, the balcony of Buckingham Palace will be the place where all the current royals will meet."

According to the Daily Mail, "King Charles is believed to want the coronation to set the tone for a rational, modern monarchy, while retaining the pomp and dignity that stunned the world at the Queen's death and funeral ceremony last September."

The May 6 ceremony began with the coronation of Queen Camilla, when the Archbishop of Canterbury placed the St. Edward's Crown on Prince Charles' head and formally named Prince Charles as king. A procession then makes its way through thousands of onlookers to Buckingham Palace, where the King and other active members of the royal family ascend the balcony in accordance with tradition, waving and acknowledging the crowd gathered below.

The weekend continues with a concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday, May 7, and Monday is a bank holiday in the UK, with millions of people taking time off work.
